One of the key questions in cognitive psychology is how people
represent knowledge about concepts such as football or love.
Recently some researchers have proposed that concepts are
represented in human memory by the sensorimotor systems that
underlie interaction with the outside world. These theories
represent a recent development in cognitive science to view
cognition no longer in terms of abstract information processing,
but in terms of perception and action. In other words, cognition is
grounded in embodied experiences. Studies show that sensory
perception and motor actions support understanding of words and
object concepts. Moreover, even understanding of abstract and
emotion concepts can be shown to rely on more concrete, embodied
experiences. Finally, language itself can be shown to be grounded
in sensorimotor processes. This book brings together theoretical
arguments and empirical evidence from several key researchers in
this field to support this framework.
